Frequently Asked Questions

They’re voiced to emulate early PAF pickups, offering a slightly more open and dynamic sound with a touch more clarity compared to hotter, more modern Gibson pickups.

The Slim Taper profile is generally comfortable, but some players with very large hands might prefer a slightly thicker neck – it’s a relatively narrow profile.

The trapeze tailpiece generally offers a slightly more flexible feel and a different resonance compared to a stop tail, potentially resulting in a more 'springy' sustain – a matter of personal preference.
